So during my last outing had a hard time getting on plane once I got there could not exceed 45mph no matter the trim or height of jackplate. Then there was a burst of power, then it slowed down after 5 -10 seconds then a few minutes down the water another burst of speed for 30-45 seconds then it slowed down again. A minute or so later the burst of power returned and the motor ran fine the rest of the day.
Any ideas? I'm thinking fuel filter or spark plug issue but I am trying to avoid throwing parts at it.
Any help is much appreciated
